Inverting Victims and Aggressors
Laura: The left has blood on its hands for being an accessory to all the murders being committed in the name of islam. Through their covering for the jihadis and aiding in the promotion of sharia, I hereby declare the left guilty for being accessories to the slaughter of non-muslims and the “honor” murders of women around the world.
Islamist Aggressors Are Really the Victims

Demonstrators shaming and slandering those who oppose the Ground Zero mosque
Things are getting ugly and more surreal far more swiftly than anyone thought possible.
Just today, roving male vigilante squads are menacing women in Chechnya for not wearing headscarves during Ramadan; they are attacking women verbally, punching them, spraying them with paintballs, and taunting them with automatic rifles.
So much for those who insist that wearing a headscarf or a face veil are free “choices” and have no consequences for those who do not exercise the same...
Sometimes He Gets it Right…..U.S.: Rabbi’s ‘offensive’ remarks harm peace efforts
Erekat: Israeli religious figure urging genocide of Palestinians
Netanyahu distances himself from remarks by Shas spiritual leader who said earlier that all Palestinians should perish.
What did Ovadia Yosef say that is so earth shaking? They say similar things about us daily. Yamit
U.S. State Department spokesman Philip J. Crowley condemns Rabbi Ovadia Yosef’s ‘inflammatory’ statement that all Palestinians should perish.
By Natasha Mozgovaya and Haaretz Service 
The United States on Sunday condemned remarks by the spiritual leader of Israel’s leading ultra-Orthodox party, Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, who said the Palestinians should “perish”.
“We regret and condemn the inflammatory statements by Rabbi Ovadia Yosef,” U.S. State Department spokesman Philip J. Crowley. “These remarks are not only deeply offensive, but incitement such as this hurts the cause of peace.”
“As we move forward to relaunch peace negotiations, it is...
BBC Islamic propaganda on the crusades…..
Cheap British not very humorous attempt at revisionist history through a PC pro Muslim Lens. Can’t offend our Muslims, even if inverting the truth is the result.YAMIT

AL-BBC PROPAGANDIZES TO THE CHILDREN…….
All that’s missing is the Hamas rat, Farfour, telling children that he’ll soon be a shahid at the hands of the evil Jooooos. Thanks to Vlad for putting this video up, it shows the lengths the al-BBC and the leftards will go in order to rewrite history, and laughably, using a very cheap version of Monty Python’s humour to do it. This is a really gross display of nonsense dressed in the garb of a history lesson. KGS

An expanded Israel will be both democratic and Jewish
By Ted Belman
The NYT published an Op-Ed by Gadi Taub titled In Israel, Settling for Less
He warns the the religious settlers numbering 130,000 out of 500,000 settlers by their “actions could spell the end of the Israel we have known.”
The consequences of these differences are huge. If the settlers achieve their manifest goal — making Israel’s hold on the territories permanent — it will mean the de facto annexation of a huge Arab population and will force a decision about their status. In Israel proper, the Arab minority represents about a fifth of its 7.2 million citizens, and they have full legal equality. But between the Mediterranean and the Jordan River, there are roughly equal numbers of Arabs and Jews today.
His argument is only as good as his facts and they are lousy. The most recent and authoratative demographic study reports that in this territory the Jews would constitute 60% of the combined population.
Even if Israel annexed only the...
“There is a war of interpretation of international law.”
Dep. FM Ayalon addresses forum of international jurists hosted by the MFA
Last night, (Sunday, 29th August), Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon welcomed and addressed a large gathering of jurists and lawyers from around the world. The forum was hosted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Ayalon told the 150 jurists that Israel and the international community are facing new challenges. “The law has become a battlefield,” the Deputy Foreign Minister told the audience. “There is a war of interpretation of international law.”
“Israel’s enemies have embarked on the most wide-ranging delegitimization campaign in history; a campaign designed to undermine Israel’s right to exist, let alone its right to defend itself. This threat has many dimensions, and among the most important is the legal one. This new arena has cleverly been termed ‘lawfare’ – a strategy of using or misusing the law as a means to achieve military or political...
The last refuge of the liberal
What’s a liberal to do when he’s lost the argument? Pull out the bigotry charge.
Liberalism under siege is an ugly sight indeed.
Just yesterday it was all hope and change and returning power to the people. But the people have proved so disappointing. Their recalcitrance has, in only 19 months, turned the predicted 40- year liberal ascendancy (James Carville) into a full retreat. Ah, the people, the little people, the smalltown people, the “bitter” people, as Barack Obama in an unguarded moment once memorably called them, clinging “to guns or religion or” – this part is less remembered – “antipathy toward people who aren’t like them.”
That’s a polite way of saying clinging to bigotry. And promiscuous charges of bigotry are precisely how our current rulers and their vast media auxiliary react to an obstreperous citizenry that insists on incorrect thinking.

Fiorina to visit Israel
California’s GOP Senate Candidate Brings Race to Israel
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu, INN
California Republican candidate Carly Fiorina is headed for Israel in a move she hopes will give her an edge over incumbent Democratic and Jewish Senator Barbara Boxer. Both candidates bill themselves as “pro-Israel.”
Sen. Boxer previously has been supported by pro-Israel groups, but Jewish voters’ growing dislike of U.S. President Barack Obama may taint her record.
Fiorina, a former chief executive officer of Hewlett Packard, already has scored points on the issues of the Ground Zero mosque and the building freeze against new Jewish home construction in Judea and Samaria. She has come out against building the planned multi-story mosque near the site where Al-Qaeda suicide terrorists destroyed the Twin Towers on 9/11. “Now would be a time for the proponents of that mosque to withdraw and say they will find someplace else, where their objectives can be met, instead of continuing...
As nationalism rises, will the European Union fall?
The European Union is dying — not a dramatic or sudden death, but one so slow and steady that we may look across the Atlantic one day soon and realize that the project of European integration that we’ve taken for granted over the past half-century is no more.
Europe’s decline is partly economic. The financial crisis has taken a painful toll on many E.U. members, and high national debts and the uncertain health of the continent’s banks may mean more trouble ahead. But these woes pale in comparison with a more serious malady: From London to Berlin to Warsaw, Europe is experiencing a renationalization of political life, with countries clawing back the sovereignty they once willingly sacrificed in pursuit of a collective ideal.
For many Europeans, that greater good no longer seems to matter. They wonder what the union is delivering for them, and they ask whether it is worth the trouble. If these trends continue, they could compromise...
Oikophobia….. Why the liberal elite finds Americans revolting.
What accounts for this madness? Charles Krauthammer notes a pattern: liberals have lost the argument in the court of public opinion. . . . What’s a liberal to do? Pull out the bigotry charge, the trump that preempts debate and gives no credit to the seriousness and substance of the contrary argument.” Read Here: The last refuge of a liberal
Those Aren’t Self-Hating Jews–They’re Oiks
By Daled Amos!
In addressing the question of why in the US the liberal elite takes the side of the proponents of the Ground Zero mosque while hurling epithets at those who oppose it, James Taranto pinpoints the problem as being not Islamophobia, but Oikophobia:
The British philosopher Roger Scruton has coined a term to describe this attitude: oikophobia. Xenophobia is fear of the alien; oikophobia is fear of the familiar: “the disposition, in any conflict, to side with ‘them’ against ‘us’, and the felt need to denigrate the customs,...
The truth about “the occupation” and “the settlements”
By Ted Belman
The pro-Palestinian propaganda machine has succeeded in stigmatizing the Israeli occupation and the settlements. Time and again we hear about the “brutal occupation” and the “illegal settlements”. We rarely hear the truth in opposition to these lies.
Occupation
Israel is accused of occupying the West Bank and Gaza. In fact these territories are described as “The occupied Palestinian territories.” Not only are they not occupied in a legal sense, but also they are not “Palestinian” lands in a sovereign sense..
The Fourth Geneva Convention (FGC) is a treaty between signatory states that are called High Contracting Parties (HCP). It regulates the obligations of one HCP who occupies the land of another HCP. It defines the terms “Occupying Power” and “Occupied State”. Thus this convention does not apply to the territories because they were not the land of any HCP. They have never been the land of an HCP. Prior to 1967, Jordon was in occupation of these...
